Our first outfit

So Matt and I went shopping last night and to this point we have not bought any clothes for our little one well I found an outfit we had to have.

An excited Daddy

So just after we found out we are having a girl Matt and I were both shocked that it was really a girl I think me more than Matt. But anyways Sunday we got ready for church and out Matt came with this proud look on his face and asked if I noticed anything...well I didn't so he then pointed out that he had his pink tie on that he has never worn and probably never will again. He is so excited about this little girl whether he states it or not.

A Busy Memorial Day

So over Memorial Day we decided it was time to make the house one color instead of two. We had a lot of help and definitely couldn't have done it alone. We have such talented families and the ones that have no experience are very willing to learn. A big thanks to all the family members that played various roles in helping us to get the job done well and quickly. Here are some of the pics of us working and more pics to come once we get the new lights and other odds and ends done.

Nursery time

So Kimber this post is for you and anyone else that cares. Here are the two bed sets we have narrowed our little ones room to. Enjoy let me know what you think.

It's a GIRL

So if you read the title you are fully aware that this child that wanted to remain sexless has now been seen. We are thrilled and more than a little shocked concidering that both Matt and I thought this little one was a boy. We go in for the important ultrasound to make sure everything works next week thats the one I am ready for just to make sure our little one is growing. I had been consistently gaining weight but I have stopped recently although the doctor says completely normal and the baby is growing perfectly. She is however sitting on my sciatic nerve, does anyone have any tricks to help relieve the pain? Has anyone ever had a prenatal message? Sorry this post has taken me so long we have not had internet for the last couple of weeks and I will tell you I am addicted, literally. I kept thinking about how out of the loop I felt. And so much has happened but yet I can't remember most of it so it couldn't have been to important. Hope all is well and I look forward to catching up on all the fun things going on very soon.

Changing in the Blink of an Eye

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you. Winnie the Pooh
So since I have been pregnant I think alot about what got Matt and I to this point in our lives from all the drama and fun in high school, first dates, first kisses, missions, college, jobs, and so on. We have been married almost 3 yrs, and known each other for 12 yrs. I know it seems like a line when people tell you to marry someone who makes you want to be a better person and your best friend. But I am here to tell you that it happens, hopefully some if not all of you know what I am talking about. I never married Matt thinking that we would change each other but I think that when I have taken a look back both Matt and I have changed alot and if I do say so myself, we compliment each other perfectly. When we first got married I was very uptight, liked to be in control, and OCD just to name a few. Now, not so much! I realize now that the dishes will wait til tomorrow in order to cuddle on the couch, the floor can be dirty and it wont hurt anyone in order to go on a walk, that money doesn't grow on trees but it should be used to build your relationships for date nights and weekends away. Now some of you may be thinking that all of this is common sense for you but I had to learn this and luckily I was sent the perfect eternal companion for me to help teach me this. The best part is that Matt has no idea that he has done it. So here is hoping that all you other couples write your life stories together that they are filled with love, joy, and happiness in growing together for a better tomorrow. I found these quotes I really like and it they go exactly with this theme.
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but also for what you are making of me. I love you for the part in me that you bring out. Elizabeth-Barrett-Browning

Ultrasound numero dos!

So here is the next ultrasound. The plan was to learn what sex our little one would be but he/she is very stubborn, although I am unsure where he/she gets it....not! The dr kept poking and trying to move it but it did nothing. The baby is now 4.5 inches long and weighs in at just over an ounce. We are still measuring on our dates. This baby has long legs from what I have bben told so maybe it will get some of the Brower height. So in three weeks we will attempt again to see what our little friend is and go from there.
On another note is this weather making anyone else depressed. I really like Utah and the fact that it has four seasons or at least it used to. The last couple of years it seems that spring and fall get pretty close to cut out aside from a few days here and there. So we will grin and get through it because I'm sure the hot summer is not far behind and that means the annual Norr family trip that has been the hightlight every summer for Matt and I since we got married. I am especially excited that this year we will be going rafting and it will be Matt's first time rafting, I already know he will love it but I just can't wait. So let the time past enjoy all the moments even the snowy ones because summer will soon come and we will be wishing for cooler weather.
